Perfect symetry. Photoshopped image of Anthony in "7'' Rockets jersey on Toyota Center in Houston. Obviously Lin being dealt regardless.

I gotta say all that fawning over melo makes me cringe. I wouldnt mind having him back(at a discount of course) but im glad Phil would never kiss his rear like the bulls have. I man a player like lebron or durant i would understand

The Bulls are already a strong team without Melo if Rose holds up. Adding Melo would make them very dangerous and capable of dethroning the Heat in the east if Melo embraces their philosophy. I understand why they are pulling out all the stops to get him and I would do the same thing.

Brian Windhorst pointed out that no players came to greet LeBron when he was making his "decision". They learned their lesson and this time they aren't taking any chances. Smart move when Melo could be the piece that puts them over the top before Rose and Noah are beyond repair.

Honestly if I were the Bulls, I'd just sign their draft pick from this year, that overseas draft pick from last year, and target a lower key free agent, plus a cheap PG like Steve Blake, and be done with it- I think they'd improve just as much if not more than if they signed Melo but traded away some of their players/prospects.

Morey is a class act.

I'm not a big Lin fan, but that is an absolutely classless move, but then again Morey is an absolute d***!

Reports of Jeremy Lin coming to Philly circulating. NBA source says "lots of teams trying to unload big contracts on Sixers." We'll see

Don't believe they can afford to wait on some rooks to develop with Rose's knees and Noah killing himself to keep the Bulls afloat while Rose was out. The western conference has lots of young teams who will only get better. The Bulls are right to try and make use of what peak years Rose and Noah have left. Melo can take the heat off of Rose and give him less of the burden offensively like few players can. Just what they need.
